Bah! Why is commercial nu-metal shiart like linkin park such an extreme sport cliche? I blame MTV!!!
I'd pick ac/dc, radio birdman, old spiderbait or old regurgitator if I was in an aussie guitar mood.
But really nothing can beat some full on psy-trance like infected mushroom, cosmosis or 1200 mics, or maybe some hardcore or hardstyle dance music like scott brown, andy farley, yoji biomehanika or lab-4. It's just harder, faster, and waaaaay better.
/I'll count myself lucky if anyone even knows who I'm talking about, let alone agreeing...
